SAN JOSE, Calif. — A woman and her boyfriend were sentenced to prison Monday in the April kidnapping of a San Jose infant, drawing to a close a case that drew national notoriety because of its apparent motive — the woman’s desire to fool another extramarital lover into believing the baby was theirs — and its overlap with the alleged exorcism death of another child.
Yesenia Guadalupe Ramirez, 44, was given a prison term of 13 years and four months in prison, and 29-year-old Jose Roman Portillo was sentenced to five years in prison at a court hearing Monday in San Jose.
Ramirez and Portillo pleaded no contest in August to eight charges, including kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, conspiracy, burglary and vehicle tampering, after the judge in the case offered reduced sentences to the pair if they pleaded to all of the charges.
